The countdown to Prime Day's closure is ticking fast, and if you're a gamer who is intent on putting a full stop to your SSD search, take a look at the WD_Black 8TB SN850X NVMe SSD, which is now available for $543.99 (previously $929.99) thanks to a very generous 42% discount.

Using Western Digital's SSD, you'll likely never run out of space again with a whopping 8TB of storage space at your disposal. With game sizes continuously growing and showing no signs of dropping, an 8TB drive makes sense, and while it might seem like overkill, it trumps most other SSD deals you might find during Amazon Prime Day.

It's great for both PS5 and PC gamers, with incredibly fast read and write speeds. You haven't got long left, so what's it going to be?

With read and write speeds up to 7,300MB/s and 6,600MB/s, respectively, there aren't many gripes to have with this SSD. There's no denying how big triple-A modern games are, with the likes of Red Dead Redemption 2, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, Call of Duty, and Assassin's Creed: Shadows, all over 100GB, taking up significant amounts of space, so an 8TB drive wouldn't be overkill.

If you still think it is overkill, though, or simply just don't want to spend nearly $600 for an SSD, the WD_Black 4TB SN850X variant is also available at $269.99 (previously $309.99), which will also be gone once Prime Day ends, so don't hesitate to make a move while you can!

If 8TB is a little more than what you need, the WD_Black SN850X 4TB model should be more than enough to install plenty of games, without worrying about storage space. It will come in handy for both PS5 and PC players, and is ideal for upcoming games like Call of Duty Black Ops 7 or Battlefield 6 that will take up a substantial amount of space.
